Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav expelled for ‘anti-party activities’

NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party on Monday has expelled rebel leaders Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha from party for ‘anti-party activities’.

The development came late on Monday night following separate replies of Bhushan and Yadav, to the show-cause notice for organising an anti-party meet in Gurgaon last week.

The National Disciplinary Committee met on April 20, 2015 at 6 pm at 514, VP House to decide on the complaints against Yadav, Bhushan, Kumar and Jha.

On the request of the respondents, the committee had earlier extended the deadline for submitting their explanations by one day, that is, to 3 pm on April 20, 2015.

However, the committee received the responses of Yadav, Bhushan and Kumar while Jha failed to furnish his response within the prescribed time.

The committee carefully considered responses furnished by Yadav, Bhushan and Kumar and found them unsatisfactory.

The committee reached the unanimous conclusion that Yadav, Bhushan and Kumar had indulged in gross indiscipline and anti-party activities. They have violated the Code of Conduct detailed in Article VI A (a) of Party’s Constitution.

The committee was of the view that Jha had failed to furnish his response in a stipulated time despite sufficient time at his disposal.

After examining the evidence put before it, the committee was of the unanimous view that Jha was also guilty of gross indiscipline and indulging in anti-party activities.

The committee, therefore, has decided to expel all the four members from the party.

Earlier, Bhushan and Yadav described the party’s show cause notice as a “pre-scripted drama where the outcome is already decided and well-known”.
